If you have not registered, you may still do so at the Wilkes—Barre Courthouse Annex on the second floor of the Northeastern National Building on Broad and Wyoming Streets in Hazleton. The League of Women Voters has announced that the deadline has been extended to October 31. There is a possibility, however, that it will be extended to Election Day itself. If you are in doubt as to whether you ay register, or if you have questions oncerning registration, you may call the League of Women Voters or the Headquarters of any major party. DISCRIMINATION UNCOVERED IN COURT SYSTEM (ZNS) In what could be a landmark ruling, a Federal Judge in Washington, D.C., has temporarily stopped a criminal trial on the grounds that jury selection discrimainates against young people. U.S. District Judge William Bryant halted all proceedings against a 20-year-old robbery suspect after reviewing the court's list of possible jurors. Bryant agreed with Defence contentions that younlA people—those under 30—are grossly under-represented on both regular juries and grand juries. The trial has been delayed until the Justice Department can justify the fact there are relatively few "under 30's" on official jury lists. For those of you who spelid your time looking for mistakes, you can put away' your magnifying glass--you won't need it. The mistakes are there, and they will be there, I'm afraid, until we get used to our machines. But until such time as you need your magnifying glass, you can have a field day! There is one consolation--you won't develop eye strain. Whatever you do, please don't stop looking. How else would we know somebody is there? B AGGIES Chenetz's Men Shop 25 W.

Some of us would do anything to preserve the beauty of the past in this day of mechanized, modern society - . Apparently the Administration does not feel this way. They have destroyed another beautiful relic of the past. The Main Building has l 'oined the Mansion and other beautiful I andmarks in the great constuction site in he sky. True, the Main Building is still standing, but it is but a shadow of its former greatness. No more will its warm soft lights beckon us through a shroud of og. Gone is the warm cozy atmosphere of he quarters. Gone is the smell of old wood at had weathered many years--good "I've got a secret" (ZNS) The U.S. Government has announced that it is tightening up its procedures for classifying secrets. State Department spokesman Charles Bray reports that the number of people who can classify government secrets has been reduced from 5435 to 2233. Keeping off the grass (ZNS) If the amount of money and the number of volunteers were the deciding factors, then Californians would surely decriminalize marijuana when they go to the polls next month. Supporters of the decriminalization effort--the California Marijuana Initiative--report spending a total of $75,000 since last February on their cause. They say they have utilized an army of volunteers that has numbered up to 20,000 people at times. On the other hand, the citizens opposed to the Marijuana Initiative reports spending only $5OO to date; and they say their volunteer corps numbers only 300 people. However, the most recent polls taken in California indicate that a majority of Californians are still planning to vote against Proposition 19--which, if passed, would eliminate criminal penalties for the simple possession and use of grass in California. RA CC/E8 94 6•6 y es .and bad. Gone is the feeling of awe as one sat in the Research Room and dreamt of the possibilities for such a room and such a view. In its place is the stale, anesthetic smell of progress. The warm brown walls are now stark white plaster. The beautiful staircase that wound its way up to the second floor is now merely functional. Where once there was ancient beauty now stark, ugly age has taken its place. What was done to the Main Building is a blasphemous sin. Instead of renovating an old building into new offices, they have succeeded in making a beautiful old building just another old building. Where is all this madness going to end? Let's not press the issue, but. . . Everywhere we turn today we see one overwhelming issue being pressed. It's an issue not only on this campus but on many others as well. The issue is one of active student participation in the campus. A number of campus newspapers have stopped production--others are faltering. Even the Keystone Society is touched by this problem. Two of their chapters have shut down, and at a recent conference, only three campus chapters responded. So, all right, it is a big issue, but harping on it won't change the situation. What will change it is a change in the students themselves. We can encouragethe change (as a campus newspaper, NOT as individual students), but we cannot make it happen. We believe in freedom. You are entitled, under your personal freedom, to be uninvolved. We will respect your right, but we can't encourage it. All we can do is try to give you some reason to want to • - come involved. There are a number of talented and teresting people on Campus with similar intrests. If you don't like the activities that are here, start your own--- it isn't that difficult. If you need help, we will help if we can, or you can try the local chapter of !Once Keystone Society with your ideas. !Once you start it, it is your own creation. Come and talk to us. We won't give lectures; we are not qualified. But sometimes we just get lonely. TERM PAPERS Send for your descriptive, up-to-date, 128-page, mail order catalog of 2,300 quality termpapers.
